Tandy hoping Ospreys can again be spoil sports

Joe Schmidt and Leo Cullen anticipate a tough day at the office in tomorrow’s RaboDirect Pro12 final at the RDS, and Ospreys coach Steve Tandy hopes to oblige.

Leinster go into the game as Heineken Cup champions and overwhelming favourites, but Tandy figures they’ll have to work overtime to secure victory against his trophy-hungry side.

Cullen leads a team that includes 13 internationals, but one without talisman Sean O’Brien and possibly Cian Healy, both of whom are injured, and the skipper is worried when noting that the Ospreys did a RaboDirect double over them this season and snatched the title from under their noses at the RDS a couple of seasons ago.
